I was expelled from Hogwarts?

The Leaky Cauldron,

As the oldest bar in London, it was established by the legendary witch Daisy Doddridge and has a history of 500 years.

The pub is located at No. 1 Diagon Alley, Charing Cross Road, hidden between a Muggle bookstore and a record store, which is also the entrance to the famous Diagon Alley.

If you haven’t been to the Leaky Cauldron, you’ve never been to the Eiffel Tower in Paris; if you’ve been to Shijiazhuang, you’ve never eaten the authentic Yam Hui beef pan noodles… almost tasteless.

Therefore, wizards who come to London for the first time will choose this famous and time-honored shop as their first stop.

The current owner of the Leaky Cauldron is named Tom, known as Old Tom, and he is one of the famous "Tom Cruise" in the wizarding world.

There have always been rumors that the famous Dark Lord chose to change his name to "Voldemort" when he debuted, just because he collided with Old Tom.

This statement was later confirmed in the new book of Mingji Rita Skeeter.

It is mentioned in the book that when Tom Riddle came to the Leaky Cauldron for the first time, he said that his name was Tom, and was ridiculed by all the drinkers as the son of old Tom who had been missing for many years...

The real situation is unknown, but as the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, Old Tom has worked hard since taking over the bar.

Especially in preserving the "authentic London taste" of the bar, it has really worked hard.

When Rove and Shirley opened the door and walked into the bar, the old dirt of the Victorian era on the bar counter was still clearly visible;

The fireplace is burning fiercely, and the room is filled with dark, yellow, and purple, resulting in a spicy and choking "London fog"... The temperament of "Little Fog City" is vividly displayed to the extreme.

sitting at the bar,

Old Tom was teasing a dark green bird. He whistled, but the bird was as cold as ice and ignored him.

Old Tom, on the other hand, was full of fighting spirit, showing off his skills, and whistling.

A few old women were sitting in the corner, drinking heavily early in the morning, and a wizard was smoking a hookah and making a gurgling sound.

Carrying a small black suitcase, Rove walked to the bar and said softly, "Good morning, Tom."

Old Tom raised his head, stared at his cloudy eyes, and said with a smile:

"Hey, isn't this Rove? Long time no see... Is your grandpa here?"

"No, he's not in London." Rove shook his head.

"Oh, that's a pity! I still want him to palm my eyes." Tom said with some disappointment, "Look, I got a new bird...but it doesn't cry, it's like a piece of wood. of."

"Otherwise, let me take a look for you?" Rove thought for a while.

"Then you are troubled, help me take a look?"

Tom spoke with his authentic Cockney accent. He picked up the birdcage and put it on the bar.

The light in the room was not very good, but Rove just glanced at it and said softly:

"The whole body is green and shiny, and looks like a vulture... This is a divination bird, a little depressed, your cage is not good, you have to replace it with vitex wood."

"Then why doesn't it bark?" Old Tom wondered.

Rove pulled out his wand, waved it lightly, and a stream of water flew over from the cup in the distance, like a small rain curtain, and the water droplets hit the Bu bird in a hurry, crackling.

The divination bird chirped, but the sound was shrill, like a funeral suona, which woke up the drunken old witches.

"Auspicious birds only sing when it rains."

"Hey, as expected of Scamander, he's an expert!" Old Tom said with a smile, "I'll give you a 20% discount on the room later."

He glanced at the girl behind Rove, but she was wearing a sun hat, so she couldn't see her face clearly. The old man winked and said, "Forgive my blindness, this is?"

"It's my friend." Rove said softly, "Two rooms, please, until September 1st when Hogwarts starts school."

"Friend..." Old Tom seemed to understand, and smiled at the boy with a thumbs up: "Then it's full, and there's only one room left."

"..."

Shirley foolishly and naively thought that there was really only one room left. The girl looked at Rove, thinking that one room would be fine. She could just sleep in the black leather cabin, and save some room money...

Rove shook his head slightly, and said seriously, "Tom, two rooms!"

"Okay." Old Tom knew he had misunderstood, so he took out two keys and said with a smile:

"Rooms No. 12 and No. 14 are next to each other, and they are the cleanest... Please say hello if you need anything."

Rove picked up the key, carried the black leather case, and led Shirley towards the second floor.

"Rove, didn't the boss just say that there is only one room?" Shirley asked curiously, "Why is there another room suddenly?"

Seeing the girl's bewildered face, Rove tapped the brim of the sun hat and said, "Don't ask if you shouldn't."

The brim of the hat covered the girl's eyebrows and eyes. She wrinkled her delicate nose, snorted softly, and raised her hat again.

The first floor of the bar is very dirty, as if it has accumulated dust for decades, but the second floor is surprisingly clean, there is no dust at all.

Each room has a brass sign with the room number on it. After Rove successfully found rooms 12 and 14, he opened the door.

The room was large, with a comfortable-looking bed, pieces of well-polished oak furniture, and a crackling fire in the fireplace.

Rove opened the window, and the busy street of Diagon Alley could be seen outside the window.

...

...

There are still a few days before the start of school, and Rove and Shirley will temporarily stay at the Leaky Cauldron to buy books and items needed for the new semester.

After tidying up the room, they came to the backyard of the bar and stood in front of an outer wall. Rove took out his wand and tapped the wall three times.

The bricks quivered and moved, and a small hole appeared in the wall, which grew wider and wider until a wide archway appeared, leading to a cobbled street that twisted and had no end in sight.

The two walked along the archway and into Diagon Alley.

"What shall we go shopping first?" Shirley asked.

"Let's buy a robe first." Rove thought for a while and said, "It takes a long time to make a robe. After measuring the size, I will buy other items."

They walked along the road towards Mrs. Malkin's gown store.

After Rove pushed the door and entered, he saw a short and fat witch with a smile on his face and said:

"Welcome, are you two going to buy Hogwarts uniforms?"

"Yes." Rove nodded.

"Stand on the stool, please."

Madam Malkin put Shirley on the footstool first, and put a gown on her, pinning it to her size.

After measuring Shirley's size, Mrs. Malkin whispered something in the girl's ear. She nodded hesitantly, glanced at Rove, and then walked towards another room.

Rove stood on the footstool. After measuring the size, seeing that Shirley hadn't come out, he asked curiously, "Mrs. Mojin, is the back room also selling clothes?"

"Yeah." Mrs. Malkin squinted and smiled, "But the type is not suitable for you."

"Why?" Rove was puzzled, "Can I go in and have a look?"

Mrs. Malkin couldn't help laughing and said, "Of course."

Rove pushed open the door, saw the scene in the room out of the corner of his eye, and was stunned...the room was full of women's underwear.

There was also an adult witch who was picking out underwear. When she saw Rove, she threw a piece of clothing at her and said with a smile, "Little guy, come in and have a look!"

Rove, as if he was facing an enemy, turned sideways to avoid the large lace bra in an instant.

"Xue Li, I'll see you at Lihen Bookstore later!"

A group of witches all looked at Shirley. The girl with ponytail blushed and pulled on her sun hat. She bit her lip and said:

"Fool!"
